God-King Elon's toy platform will never be banned/restricted in Texas.  It serves the purpose of the regime.  It could be 75% straight-up kiddie porn, and so long as it 1) promotes MAGA, and 2) de-emphasizes/bans opposition, it will be The Official Online Platform of The Great State of Texas, Long May MAGA Reign.

Elon has lost his mind and is now throwing all his chips in on this Presidential election. If it doesn't go his way, that might be the true beginning of the end for him. Hopefully.

Let’s just hope more large brands leave.  If he wants to keep the lights on with drop-shipped male supplements, sketchy dick pills, cheap table lamps, and dildos, well it made Alex Jones a millionaire.

I think over the next few months he will push things far more than he has.  He can’t help it and he has nothing to lose,

• government spending (ignoring that contracts and subsidies have helped his companies be profitable)
• ”legacy” media that he thinks is helping people he doesn’t like (all the while he’s using Twitter to help his side)
• Illegal immigrants (I’m sure none of them helped build any SpaceX or Tesla facilities) (oh and didn’t he come here on a student visa)
• Facebook and a Instagram inflating their numbers (I’m sure all of his followers are human)
• Google employees exercising their free speech and donating to people he doesn’t like, while he uses a social media platform to promote people he likes
• more bitching about trans people

And that’s just within the past two hours   He’s having a day or something.  Good thing he’s busying being a CEO.

Oh, and claiming that Twitter passed up Facebook and Instagram

edit: he thinks Facebook inflated their numbers by billions and that catapults him from outside of the 10 largest social media platforms to first). Yet he can only make $114 million in a quarter.

I will say this - since I created my Twitter burner (via a 10 minutes email address) - I can say that the Twitter bot situation is out of control. I barely have posted on Twitter, every day I get 5-10 new followers every day. All women, none of whom I have ever engaged with.  Hell, I had a follower count of like 40 before I ever posted anything. And daily my count moves up and down as clearly they cull out the known bots.

Elon Musk warned twice by X for spreading 'fake' Venezuela election interference video

Musk shared a 'messed up' video claiming Maduro supporters were stealing ballot boxes - but two community notes explained they were actually AC units.

By KYLE OSULLIVAN

12:49 ET, Mon, Jul 29, 2024 | UPDATED: 13:13 ET, Mon, Jul 29, 2024

Elon Musk has been hit by two 'fake news' warnings from his own site after a video of alleged electoral fraud in Venezuela.

The tech billionaire, who was also slammed for sharing a manipulated video that mimics the voice of Vice President Kamala Harris, was seemingly duped by the clip that he reshared on his X platform.

Venezuela is in a worrying state of limbo right now as both the incumbent leader and his opposition have claimed victory in a presidential election.

Musk has waded in by claiming there was "major election fraud" by Nicolas Maduro, who is claiming victory despite in a highly-disputed election result over retired diplomat Edmundo González, who was polling far higher pre-election.

The Telsa boss wrote "this is messed up" when sharing a video that claimed Maduro's 'Chavista' supporters were raiding a local voting station and forcibly taking away ballot boxes.

But there was a very visible problem.

The tweet accompanying the video Musk shared read: "URGENT: In Punta Cardón, Falcón state, Venezuela, they report that masked Chavista militiamen raided a local voting station and forcibly took the ballot boxes with the votes to an unknown location . Maduro is committing MASSIVE ELECTORAL FRAUD."

However, it was evident that the alleged 'ballot boxes' were in fact AC units.

The tweet was hit by a community note, stating: "Those are thieves stealing air conditioners and a woman can be heard in the video saying so. Voting in Venezuela is done on small computers that look nothing like what appears in this video."

Musk's own tweet, claiming it was "messed up", was then followed by a second community note.

It read: "It is visually clear in the video that the boxes being carried out are air conditioning units. The woman in the video is even heard saying so."

Several foreign governments, including the U.S. and the European Union, held off recognizing the election results.

Nine South American countries have called for a "complete review" of the results and an emergency meeting of the Organisation of American States (OAS).

This comes after Musk shared an AI video on his social media platform X on Friday evening without explicitly noting it was originally released as a parody.

The video uses many of the same visuals as a real ad that Harris, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, released last week launching her campaign. But the video swaps out the voice-over audio with another voice that convincingly impersonates Harris.

"I, Kamala Harris, am your Democrat candidate for president because Joe Biden finally exposed his senility at the debate," the voice says in the video.

It claims Harris is a "diversity hire" because she is a woman and a person of color, and it says she doesn’t know "the first thing about running the country." The video retains "Harris for President" branding and adds in some authentic past clips of her.

The original user who posted the video, a YouTuber known as Mr Reagan, has disclosed both on YouTube and on X that the manipulated video is a parody.

But Musk's post, which has been viewed more than 123 million times, according to the platform, only includes the caption "This is amazing" with a laughing emoji.

Quote

enezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro, who skeptics suggest cheated his way to winning the country’s presidential election on Sunday after securing over 50% of the vote, declared war on Tesla, X and Space X CEO Elon Musk, calling him his "arch-enemy." 

"Do you want to fight? Let's do it. Elon Musk, I'm ready. I’m not afraid of you, Elon Musk. Let's fight, wherever you want." In a video Monday, Maduro was seen holding a cellphone as he declared war on Musk, alleging Musk wants to invade Venezuela with his space rockets.

Elon saw what the Kremlin did with Twitter in 2016 and said to himself, “Impressive, but I could do that waaaay better… just let me get my checkbook.” 

At this point it’s abundantly clear, influencing U.S. elections nationally for profit and protection was a primary impetus for Elon buying Twitter.

I think you could make the argument that TSLA without Elon would trade at a multiple much closer to the other car  manufacturers, so they are paralyzed with inaction. Its basically the choice between a rapid fall in market cap or the slow gradual trend down with Elon at the helm. Of course with Elon melting down, no telling what he can come up with to instigate a rapid fall.

It was a 21 minute video with some interesting detail. They discuss how difficult it is to get all the data from an individual vehicle. Tesla tells you that you can download your own data, but they don't provide all of it, such as what FSD was doing at any particular time - Tesla withholds that info. All of the data, however, is transmitted back to Tesla but for the normie/owner to access it, they'd have to take apart the dashboard to access the computer and then hack it. WSJ found a guy who likes to work on wrecked Teslas. He pulls the computers and then sends them to someone who hacks it. Even though they only have 6 cameras, there's a good chance they're not synchronized, so what one camera sees can be totally different from what another one sees. The example an ex-Tesla employee gives is that an un-synched camera can make something look like it's floating in the air. 

This is a 3.5 minute portion of the full WSJ clip that discusses how the reporters accessed the secret data. It has an injected ad or two that you can skip after 5 seconds. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/how-hackers-and-mechanics-unearth-tesla-s-hidden-autopilot-data/vi-BB1qRxcX

I was waiting to walk across Broadway in Manhattan yesterday and some jerkoff in a Cybertruck came dawdling by (nearly causing gridlock but for an unexpected opening) and the schmuck behind the wheel made a big showing of putting his hands behind his head and looking out the driver's window as the truck continued to move along. 

The lady waiting next to me remarked that, "I don't know anything about cars, but that thing looks like it cost a million bucks. And the guy driving it looks like a real piece of shit." 

I told her that it cost considerably less than that, and that I was positive that the driver is a piece of shit.

That is terribly harsh. Under absolutely no circumstances would I have allowed the truck to run over the lady.

Musk simps are weird as fuck.  Musk saying "I hear you" is fucking hilarious, because Musk ain't going to change one single fucking that dude complained about and that dude will have to continue to wallow in his misery of being a Tesla owner.

And he's lying his ass off about the Elon hate being manufactured by the media - one little look at 24 hours of Musk tweets will tell you that Musk is the one causing people to hate him.

been feelin bummed about all the tension in America recently

a large chunk of our country hates @elonmusk. a lot of this has been manufactured by the media, but some of his stubbornness is contributing to it

now every @Tesla employee, fan & shareholder has to constantly defend and talk about Elon Musk's actions. it is exhausting. I got into $TSLA to stop climate change and proliferate EVs. I still love the company and am extremely supportive of Elon

it is not easy for me to speak out, because i don't like bad vibes or want to spread negativity. but i see a strong rise in hatred, and incentives to either slander Elon or kill him, or harm his companies. that is bad.

Elon, as a homie, my advice is to chill on posting about Politics. Sure, it's your right as an American to satirical. But as one of the world's most powerful and influential people i think we need to hold a higher standard of discourse. If you think its so important to get involved, then do it, and explain it in a classy, and clear and positive and inclusive manner and you'll be well received. sharing humorous videos about Kamala is funny (i laughed at your post), but the backlash it will cause, isn't worth it. an example of why being chill/smart/calm/classy with communication will be more effective

i love jokes. i do open mics to try my controversial stand up material. there is a time and place of trolling and joking. so i feel ya. but it feels like now isn't it

just seems like if you keep poking the bear, they will poke back. it could get really ugly with Democrats weaponizing the legal system against your companies ... harming all of the hard work you've done. that is my worry.

there is no doubt material damage has been done to the Tesla brand. every time i step into my car it used to be about fun, positivity and sustainability. now (at least in every major US city) my car has become a political statement that is divisive. that sucks. it's like a cloud that follows my car everywhere i go. I'm worried this trend is and will continue to seriously hurt Tesla's sales and brand.

and look, ive been a Tesla shareholder since 2011. Model Y owner since 2020. Tesla is more than an investment for me. The community is my family. There is so much love there, and I think we need to let that shine.

if i try to put myself in your shoes Elon, I get where you're coming from. Biden snubbed you at every turn. Fuckery in our political system is at an all time high. You feel the need to speak up and try and do good. I have so much respect for that, and your bravery to risk it all for the right thing. Thank you.

but as a homie, and investor and someone who cares about you, the employees, fans, humans on earth, animals on earth, and all our nature i think it could be time to go back to drawing board with a new communication strategy in the Political Universe to foster more inclusivity and positivity and unity.

sending good vibes and love - Gali

i really didn't want to post this. but felt it is important feedback for Elon & needed to be candid all coming from a place of love and wanting everyone to be on the same page and move forward with a stronger America

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]
